I definitely agree. I've been playing Bad Company recently, and although it's quite funny, I feel no desire to kill Russians. They're just supposed to be the generic bad guys without even any explanation. I find it quite ridiculous. I always preferred to play as the Soviets in Red Alert anyway. I think another Bad Company type game should be made where the Americans are the generic enemy.
Poll: How about a ''Vs. America' shooter?

@Brockyman - depends what your beliefs are, I'm pretty sure jihadists think they are the good guys as well.
In my entire life of playing computer games I'm sure I've killed more americans than any other nationality seeing as most non-war games are entirely populated by them. Even most of the aliens I've killed through countless games seem to have american accents.
To those of you saying that shooting at american soldiers in a game would be somehow reprehensible; have you ever played a GTA game?
Justifying the shooting of american soldiers in a wargame has got to be slightly easier than justifying the killing of countless american cops because they got the hump when you mowed down some old american lady when you took a corner too quick.

If done properly, I'd play it.
And they do NOT need to scream: You can kill americans, else it'll be destroyed by Oprah and Ellen and all those I-don't-give-a-fuck-about shows.
I mean, does it really matter in MoH wether you play as "Red team", Taliban of OpFor?

How about a game where America invades Iran and you get to be an Iranian special ops dude who helps to liberate his country.
Well, most of the countries against us don't really have any particularly large gaming companies. Not like I would care if there was a game where you played against my country, but still. Anyway, I highly doubt the US would make such a game against themselves, but life is full of sunrises I guess. Gaming companies would also get a lot of shit from parents if they made games like that. You guys probably remember the airport level in Modern Warfare 2. I wouldn't have a problem playing a game like that though. In most multiplayer games I just play for fun anyway, I pay little attention to who I am playing as. (Battlefield for example)
Well I think your oppinion of the US military is poor to say the least but if Master Sergeant Kalednburg (5 Tours to Iraq, 20 something years of service, local boyscout leader and genuinely good person) and his disabled son showed up at your door tomorrow and asked you what you thought of America's armed forces then you would probably have a different answer.Ih8pkmn said:
The point is that such a stereotype of the US military can only come from ignorance. There are all types of people in the military. And the type that you are talking about mostly consist of scared 18 and 19 year old kids like you and me in a far-off land doing as they are told.
Side note; nobody has used pointy sticks vs US troops since Vietnam and at the time the US military was anything but flag waving.
the american government would destroy that game and use it in the argument that it is destroying our youth by saying stuff like it allows kids to kill our own citizens and then we start to become like australia
Seriously guys, I thought at least more then one person would be smart enough or older then 10 years old to mention battlefield 2. Not only can you verse USA and win, USA actually gets invaded on a few fronts in one of the -free- expansions as of patch 1.5. These said maps are also some of the best maps.
Seriously, BF2 costs like 10 bucks now and still has a dedicated fan base, go play it if you want to kill some Americans, or just want an actual good, difficult and realistic shooter >.>

How about we do something else entirely, maybe we should be fighting more mummies or space-horses in videogames.
I guess if you were really desperate to gun down some Americans you could play as the Wehrmacht in day of defeat, then again do zombified American citizens count as Americans? If so I've probably killed more Americans at this point than anything else.

It's not that bad down here, besides, last time I checked California's an American state.thenoblitt said:
Eh, Day of Defeat: Source is unbiased, you can go with America or against. Personally I find the Russian weapons alot better so I end up playing them all the time, but that's just me.
How isn't it?FutureJarhead16 said:
You have to control your shots, there is bullet drop that is really well done, the vehicles drive and feel right, all the guns have true specs. It is far more realistic then any CoD game.
Yes there are bugs that make the game pretty unrealistic, but that is engine limitations and because it is a DICE game after all.
First of all, calling us all "Yanks" would be like calling all people who live in the UK "English." So, just don't, unless you're specifically referring to the Yankees (anything north of Virgina and east of Ohio, not including said states).
And second, maybe. I wouldn't want to play as a terrorist organization, for the gameplay would need to rely somewhat on stealth, which many developers don't know how to do properly. If it were the Civil War, I would probably try it, assuming that it was more reliant on cavalry battles because the guns of the era were horrible. And then, in an alternate reality, East vs West, like in Fracture, but no "East is evil!!!!" That would be pretty cool.
